Timeless Design. Thoughtful Communication.

Alba Marie Designs brings together elegant design and thoughtful communication at the service of individuals and businesses.

Every one of my products begins with the same question: What does my customer truly need, and how can I serve them well? When I create designs, I am not thinking about the aesthetics exclusively. I do the work up front to make sure that every product I create is as functional as it is beautiful. I don’t add filler text but rather create copy that leads you through the customization process, so you are never staring at a blank page wondering what to write.

I create designs for Business & Communication based on my 25+ years as a business owner in the fields of communication and marketing. You will also find a range of Lifestyle Collections for individual use with products for occasions, home decor, babies, the holidays and more. I create designs in English, Spanish and Italian, the three languages I speak.

Currently, I sell all my designs through Zazzle.com. Zazzle handles all of the printing and ships your order to you worldwide. If you need one of my designs quickly and can’t wait for it to be shipped to you, please get in touch and we can discuss a downloadable design.

If you have an idea for a design that you don’t currently see in my product range, please let’s discuss it.

About Alba Marie Designs

I’m Dawn Marie Ciano, founder of Alba Marie Designs.

I founded this business to serve both individuals and businesses looking for elegant and functional solutions to their daily needs. I speak English, Italian and Spanish, so I create designs in all three languages.

My professional background spans international marketing, business communication, digital strategy, project coordination and design, so when you purchase one of my business designs, you know that they are based on experience not theory.

I am also an avid lover of event organization, having planned many for family as well as for my businesses. My designs for occasions include weddings, baby showers, bridal showers, birthdays, quinceañeras, baptisms and so much more.

I believe effective design begins with understanding people, identifying what matters to them and finding the clearest way to communicate genuine value.

Whether I’m developing a marketing strategy or designing a collection of stationery, my approach is grounded in thoughtful research, careful execution and a commitment to the finest quality and customer support.
